Question
I pay a synagogue membership fee of 120 NIS every month, and this is the synagogue where I pray only during the middle of the week and on the High Holy Days.
And because I donate this amount every month, I receive a discount on the High Holy Days when purchasing seats in the men's and women's sections.
It could be that I donate this amount only because I want the discount.
May I give this amount from maaser money?
Thank you very much!!

Answer
Shalom u'vracha
Even if it is given for the purpose of receiving the discount, the entire amount may be given from maaser money.
